Solutions To Global Crisis
Macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss in Americans 60 years of age and older. As many as 11 million people in the United States have some form of age-related macular degeneration. This number is expected to double to nearly 22 million by 2050. The number of people living with macular degeneration is expected to reach 196 million worldwide by 2020 and increase to 288 million by 2040.
Estimates of the global cost of visual impairment due to age-related macular degeneration is $343 billion, including $255 billion in direct health care costs.
MacularDegeneration Crisis
Current treatments cannot cure macular degeneration. Surgery, Eye Injections, Eye Supplements and Gene Therapy can slow the progression, and are often expensive. Gene therapy for example costs $850,000 for both eyes to be treated.
